VERDICT: CANNES GRAND PRIX, JOINTLY AWARDED - REVIEWED MAY 27 Lukas Dhont’s gut-wrenching second feature is a stunning ode to adolescent same-sex friendship and a powerful critique of the ways society normalizes aggression while demonizing physical tenderness.
A great tragedy occurs at the 45-minute mark in Close, Lukas Dhont’s transcendent second feature.
